Hi All,

I know this has come up a lot with amanda, but I have followed what I have read and still have issues backing up clients located behind a firewall. My server is in the internal network and the client is behind the firewall. I receive the following error and very little else.
/home  lev 0  FAILED [mesg read: Connection timed out]

My server is configured with the following config statement:
./configure --prefix /opt/backups --with-user=<amandaUser> --with-group=<amandaGroup> --with-smbclient=/usr/bin/smbclient --with-gnutar=/bin/tar --with-gnutar-listdir=/opt/backups/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/ --with-index-server=<amandaServerName> --with-tape-server=<amandaServerName> --with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 --with-portrange=850,859 --with-udpportrange=850,859

My Client is configured with the following config statement:
./configure --prefix=/opt/backups --with-user=<amandaUser> --with-group=amandaGroup> --with-gnutar=/bin/tar --without-server --with-portrange=850,859 --with-udpportrange=850,859

My firewall has the following ports open:
10080, 10082, 10083, 850 ? 859 (UDP & TCP in both directions between client and server)

The version of Amanda is Amanda-2.4.5p1.

Does anybody have any ideas of what I am missing here, please?

Thanks
Mary.
